High-Risk Delivery

A high-risk delivery refers to childbirth that requires specialized care due to potential complications for the mother, baby, or both. These complications may arise from pre-existing medical conditions, pregnancy-related issues, or unexpected problems during labor. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly experienced obstetrician, specializes in managing high-risk pregnancies and ensuring safe deliveries for both mother and baby.

Pregnancy-Related Factors
